CASology 129 - NBUS

This week's CASology Cue Card is NBUS!

Confused? NBUS is a term coined by the Queen of Words herself - Darnell, who just happens to be the CASology Guest of Honour this week!

NBUS stands for Never-Been-Used-Schtuff and it refers to all the stamps, inks, papers, tools and supplies that you just HAD to have but then haven't gotten around to using. Most of us have some of it. And many of us have new goodies after the holidays - so now is the time to use your NBUS!

You can link up at CASology and at Darnell's NBUS#3 Challenge, too. (the deadlines are different - CASology will close next Monday, January 19, NBUS closes on January 22).

I used my new Papertrey Phrase Play Hooray die. I was inspired by this card by Michelle. I love how she cut the 'hooray' out of the journal-card-sized die. I cut it once in black and then once in white. I coloured the white centres with Copics and placed them back into the black word, and then cut up the stamp that said 'you did it' so that I could change the arrangement from the one that you would expect based on the die's original layout.

Now it's your turn! Be sure to get more inspiration from the other DT Members:

Thank you for that wonderful write-up, Ardy! It's a wonderful collaboration and a real honor to be guesting with you at CASology this week! I love your card! It just screams HAPPY for you to the recipient. HOORAY! I can see why you wanted to CASE Michelle's card; now I want to CASE yours!! I hope you will link it over at my NBUS Challenge! Hugs, Darnell
